Gram-Force [gf]


The gram-force (gf) is a unit of force based on the force exerted by one gram of mass under standard gravity.



  • It is defined as the force exerted by a mass of 1 gram under the acceleration due to gravity (9.80665 m/s²).



  • Mathematically:



1 gf=1 g×9.80665 m/s2=9.80665×103 N=0.00980665 N1 \text{ gf} = 1 \text{ g} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 9.80665 \times 10^{-3} \text{ N} = 0.00980665 \text{ N}

  • Although not an SI unit, gram-force is used in some fields like engineering and material science for small force measurements.



Example: The force due to a 500 g mass is 500 gf, which is approximately 4.9 newtons.



Meganewton [MN]


Meganewton is a large unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).



  • 1 meganewton (MN) equals 10610^{6} newtons (1,000,000 newtons).



  • It is commonly used to measure very large forces in engineering, such as the thrust of rocket engines or loads on large structures.



  • To give perspective:



1 MN=1,000,000 N=106 N1 \text{ MN} = 1,000,000 \text{ N} = 10^{6} \text{ N}

Meganewtons are useful for quantifying forces much greater than those in everyday life but smaller than giganewtons and above.
